Couchsurfing seems like a great way to save money, meet new people, and truly experience a city through the eyes of a local all at the same time! I'm looking for a host who can help me get to know the place a little better, but who will also be cool with me exploring on my own.

I booked a one way flight and a room in a hostel for a week, in a city I had never been to before, where I knew no one...and 2 years later I was still there!
